Moldovan, Dniester ministers discuss reintegration issues
Moldovan Deputy Prime Minister for reintegration issues Victor Osipov met Dniester foreign minister Vladimir Yastrebchak in Bender [a Dniester-controlled town] last Friday [27 November].
However, the information and analysis department of the already non-existing reintegration ministry decided to report on this event only on Monday [30 November].
According to its press release, the parties discussed problems faced by Moldovan and Dniester residents, first and foremost by people living in the security zone. Among the discussed problems were the removal of obstacles to a free movement of people, goods and motor vehicles, the restricted access of Moldovan farmers to their land plots situated beyond the [Dniester controlled] Ribnita-Tiraspol highway and the current export and import rules for Dniester companies.
Osipov and Yastrebchak agreed to continue dialogue and restart the activities of profiled working groups that are supp! osed to boost confidence between the sides, including by implementing joint projects in the economic, social and humanitarian areas.
The Bender meeting took place in conformity with the accords reached during the five plus two consultations held in Vienna and Tiraspol earlier this month. Now such meetings are supposed to be held on a regular basis.
